Wow congratultaions on your fast approval. My Dr.'s office still hasn't sent in my information to Aetna yet so I am still waiting for that to be done. But good luck with the surgery!

We have Aetna POS - Submitted on Monday...


Okay - sometimes I read the board and get really excited --- and other times I get nervous thinking I may not be approved...BMI is 35.7 and I was tested for Sleep Apnea - which I still think I may have but I was so miserable and restless during the testing that I didn't sleep at all that night...very bad experience for me by the way.

At any rate, just completed 3 month supervised plan, submitted 2 years as is now the requirement from Aetna, pysch evaluation and follow-up and nutrition counceling. Everything was in order and sent to Aetna on Monday. The Insurance person at True Results (Dr. Carter) said that she has been very pleased with Aetna's turnaround time - 2 weeks or under...so now I'm just waiting to see. Nurse at True Results said that it's a difficult call right now since BMI is just over the limit and I don't have any co-morbesities - but that they have seen several cases that they thought would never get through approval - and yet they did - but also, some cases where they thought it would fly through and was denied. I know our Aetna plan covers LBS...just hoping my paperwork gets in front of someone in a very good mood! As soon as I hear - ya'll will probably here me crying or whooping it up here in Southlake, Texas!!!

Jak - best of luck to you - the waiting game with the insurance is the hardest part! I'll keep my fingers crossed for you! And I'm right across the 114 in Grapevine, so here's to hoping I hear whooping and not crying!

Good luck to everyone waiting on approval with Aetna, or are chugging through the approval process. Hang in there.

Hello Everyone,

Well my Dr.'s office finally submitted the paperwork in. But they didn't submit my diet according to Aetna. They only submitted a summary letter of it. Did anyone have that happen to them and they had to provide the medical records? Also does anyone know the number to the predertimantion section? I just want to call and find out what is going on. I don't want to talk to member services.
